TRICEPS

Cable Rope Tricep Extension

IntermediateCable

A triceps isolation move using a rope on a high pulley. Cables hold tension more evenly than dumbbells, keeping the triceps loaded throughout. Because you can change the weight in a second, it's also a handy choice for drop sets when you want to fully burn out the arms at the end of a session.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the pulley high and clip on a rope attachment.

  2. 2

    Grab the rope with a neutral grip, palms facing each other, and tuck your elbows to your sides bent to about 90 degrees, forearms parallel to the floor.

  3. 3

    Brace your core and keep your spine neutral with your shoulders drawn back.

  4. 4

    Straighten your elbows to press the rope down, keeping your upper arms locked at your sides.

  5. 5

    At full extension, spread the ends of the rope slightly apart for an extra squeeze.

  6. 6

    Bend the elbows to bring the rope back up to the starting position under control.
